"Renegades Of Funk" lyrics

"Renegades Of Funk"

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet Earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came (Came)
And times continued to change (Change)
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades!

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

From a different solar system
Many, many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission, to help the others listen
And groove from land to land, singing electronic chants like
Zulu Nation

Revelations
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations
Destroy all nations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades, we're the people with our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
Come on

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

With Popping, socking, rocking putting a side of hip-hop
Because where we're going there ain't no stopping
Popping, socking, rocking, putting a side of hip-hop
Because where we're going there ain't no stopping
Popping and socking and rocking and putting a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're popping, socking, rocking putting a side of hip-hop
Popping, socking, rocking putting a side of HIP-HOP!!

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

We're teachers of the funk and not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble, the horns, and our vocals
'Cause every time I pop into the beat, we get fresh

Come on

Come on

There was a time when our music
Was something called "The Bay Street" beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucker (Jam sucker)
Say jam sucker (Jam sucker)
Say groove sucker (Move sucker)
Now groove sucker (Move sucker)
Now dance sucker (Dance sucker)
Now dance sucker (Dance sucker)
Say move sucker (Move sucker)
Now move sucker (Move sucker)
Say jam sucker (Jam sucker)
Say jam sucker (Jam sucker)
Say groove sucker (Move sucker)
Now groove sucker (Move sucker)
Say dance sucker (Dance sucker)
Say dance sucker (Dance sucker)
Say move sucker (Move sucker)
Now move sucker (Move sucker)

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
